Novelis offers its cybersecurity expertise in a pragmatic approach, integrating both the dimension related to the analysis of the current situation (penetration tests, audit, identification of internal and external threats…) but also on a long-term support in terms of governance, processes and best practices to protect against cyber-attacks and establish a cyber-resilience mechanism.
About Novelis
Created in 2017, Novelis is a hybrid structure halfway between startup, consulting firm, publisher and service company. At Novelis, innovation is reflected in daily investments, both in disruptive technologies and in the work carried out in their internal R&D Lab. The latter is financed by their service activities up to 1/4 of the revenue.
The company currently employs around 100 people and has an international presence, supporting some 60 clients in their business challenges.
Against the backdrop of the economic slowdown, cybersecurity is on the rise! Gartner forecasts an increase in cybersecurity spending of 11.3% in 2023 (vs. an increase of 7.2% in 2022). It must be said that the pace of cyber attacks has never been more intense (+400% since the beginning of the health crisis) and in France, more than one out of two companies reported having suffered between 1 and 3 successful cyber attacks with repercussions for the victims during 2021 (CESIN-OpinionWay survey). The impact and virulence of attacks are constantly increasing and all companies, from the very small to the multinational, have had to massively review their security systems.
While organizations no longer need to be convinced of the need to invest in protecting themselves against cyber risks, many of them are faced with a shortage of expert resources in the field to take charge of these issues. Faced with this situation, one of the major challenges for CISOs is to make their teams more efficient and effective or to find “how to do more and better with less”.
During its next webinar dedicated to cyber, Novelis invites you to discover how automation can become an essential operational efficiency lever for your cyber teams. Join us on November 3rd at 11:30am.
The daily life of cyber teams is full of tasks with high potential for automation, predictable, processable and repeatable, such as simple configuration changes, software installations or updates, service restarts, log management, penetration tests…
Automating cyber processes allows organizations to increase reliability and security:
In this final webinar of our series on cybersecurity, we will see how to strengthen security and gain efficiency thanks to automation with many detailed use cases in illustration.
This session will be hosted by Oussama Hamdi, Cyber Security Consultant & Auditor at Novelis and Georges Abou Haidar, Solutions Architect and Product Owner of SmartRoby at Novelis.
The information system has become the nerve center of a large number of organizations and securing it is no longer an option in the face of the resurgence of cyber threats. In France, 9 out of 10 companies have already been affected by an act of cyber maliciousness and 43% of them are SMEs. However, only 17% of SMEs are protected against cyber attacks… The stakes and risks involved are numerous and can have irreversible consequences for organizations:
This was the case for a health insurance company that was hacked and had personal data stolen: it revealed huge financial repercussions up to 5 years after the attack, due to the absence of new contracts.
As you can see, the implementation of a cybersecurity strategy has become a priority for all organizations, regardless of their size! But where to start? What strategy to adopt? What skills are needed? What is the budget? How to ensure a sustainable security of its IS?
Protecting yourself from cyber risks is not always synonymous with significant costs and simple actions can already significantly reduce your exposure.

2021 has been an unprecedented year in terms of cyberattacks, as evidenced by SolarWinds or more recently the Log4j flaw which as a reminder could have a massive impact on a third of the servers in the world (including those of large companies like Microsoft, Apple’s iCloud, Amazon…). This type of attack can have a global impact and may have affected you even without you realizing it.
Today, digitization and digital transformation have led to new IT security vulnerabilities and cyber risks have never been stronger.
Because of this increase in attacks, cybersecurity in 2022 will continue to be a major business area requiring companies to think about their needs and how they manage their security systems.
A very recent example shows us the importance of protecting our information and communication systems more intensively:
On May 16, 2022, Costa Rica’s president declared that he was “at war” with the Conti cybercrime group, threatening to overthrow the government. The group’ s attack has disabled Costa Rican government agencies since April, preventing it from collecting taxes and salaries for some employees. It also allowed cybercriminals to access critical systems in the country’s Ministry of Finance. The attackers demanded a ransom of $20 million (read more).
This type of attack shows the great capacity of ransomware groups, such as Conti, to operate on any scale, including nation-states! Thus causing national crises.
Cyber attacks can therefore also target all sizes of companies and all sectors: whether you are a major player in the financial sector, a small business in the service sector or even a small retailer, you can be targeted by hackers.
Cybersecurity professionals have an essential role to play because cybersecurity has become an absolute necessity for all companies wishing to ensure the sustainability of their activities.
We propose you to decipher the risks and the first steps necessary to protect your organization and your systems.
